Sundays Reset, Mondays Thrive: Introducing Your Thrive Guide for Teens (Inspired by Real Life and Real Teens!)


As a mom of two teens (ages 12 and 13), I know firsthand how chaotic life can feel when you’re juggling school, activities, friendships, and the ever-present pull of screens. But the real challenge? Sundays. That one day of the week when we all need to reset, recharge, and prepare for the week ahead. Trying to get my daughters to reset without feeling overwhelmed was the spark that inspired our newest product: Your Thrive Guide.

This journal isn’t just a planner—it’s a toolkit for emotional, mental, and physical well-being. It’s packed with creative activities, mindfulness practices, and time management tools to help teens thrive. And the best part? My daughters helped design it! Together, we’ve created a journal that empowers teens to take control of their lives while having fun along the way.

The Story Behind the Journal

The idea for this journal started on a Sunday evening. I watched my daughters struggle to get organized for the week ahead, feeling overwhelmed by their to-do lists and unsure where to start. I realized that what they needed wasn’t just a planner—it was a system that combined organization with emotional support, creativity, and a little bit of fun.

So, I got to work. I researched time management techniques (like the Eisenhower Matrix, Pomodoro Technique, and Seinfeld Habit Tracker) and turned them into engaging, teen-friendly activities. I asked my daughters what they’d want in a journal, and together, we brainstormed ideas for pages that would help them stay organized while also nurturing their mental health.

The result? A journal that’s as unique as the teens who will use it.


A Method to the Madness- What’s Inside Your Thrive Guide?

This journal is designed to help teens plan, reflect, and grow—all while having fun. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside:

  1. Long-Term Planning:
    A 2-month calendar spread to help teens see the bigger picture and plan ahead for important events, goals, or projects.

  2. Weekly Planners:
    Each week includes space for planning activities, but also dedicated sections for emotional wellness and gratitude.

  3. Daily Planners with a Twist:
    Every day is different! The daily planner pages include:

    • Space for planning activities and managing time.

    • Emotional and mental wellness trackers (mood, water intake, screen time, sleep, and gratitude).

    • A unique activity page for each day of the week.

The Magic of Sundays

Sundays are the most important day in the journal—and the most fun! Inspired by my own struggles to get my daughters organized, the Sunday pages include:

  • Time Management Techniques: Learn and apply methods like the Eisenhower Matrix, Pomodoro Technique, and Seinfeld Habit Tracker.

  • Task Completion Games: Make productivity fun with activities like Task Quests, Roll a Task, Task Bingo, and Beat the Clock.

  • Reset Activities: Reflect on the past week, set intentions for the week ahead, and create a plan to stay on track.
